QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) qwerty is the most realistic poster on the board if you subtract his posts about Widger. You really shouldn't be talking seeing how you have a Timo Perez sig, loser.

:puke :puke :puke :puke

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Maybe he confused are names? That's the last thing I need, people mixing up my posts with yours. People are going to think I hate the Sox.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) Thank you. That is exactly right. To Rowand 44, Kalapse, Zoomslowik, and CWSGuy406, all of whom trash Vizquel, I ask, how would you improve the Sox' offense via a trade at this point? What Exactley did I ever say about Vizquel? Funny how I don't even remember talking about him, seeing how I alway stay out of Vizquel discussions.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 08:13 AM) The sad thing is we dont get a chance to vote for the pitchers as well. Id be cool if we could atleast vite the starting pitchers in and the the manager can select the reserves. Ummmm..... No. The Fans shouldn't even vote for the starting position players let alone the starting pitchers. Do you really want to see Kevin Brown and David Wells in the All-Star game?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) Whatever. I see our opinions on Crede's value differ. I know that 3B can be a black hole for a franchise for many years. I like Crede too, I think he's got some decent pop and an Above Average glove. I just don't think he should make much in Arbitration, he has been a disappointment over his time in the big leagues and it would pain me to see him get a nice chunk of change from an Arbitor because he hits 23 HRs.

QUOTE(mrzo2733 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:00 AM) What about Coco Crispies? And not just because he is crazy-good against us. He is the man. He made the greatest catch I have ever seen in person in a game against them last year. I was in shock. Robbed Frank of a double. Hafner has much better numbers than Coco and Sizemore for that matter. Doesn't mean Covellie (SP?) isn't a good player, which he is, it just seems all of his and Belliard's HRs and RBIs come against the Sox.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 03:00 AM) I expect the Sox to try and lock Crede up past his 1st year of FA eligibility. I also look for Boras to try and not let that happen. This is one that may actually make it to arbitration. Any Arbitor that would give Crede s***. Should stricken of his title and thrown onto the streets to live like a bum for the rest of his days.

A's - ?Justin Duchscherer/Huston Street/Eric Chavez/Barry Zito? Blue Jays - Vernon Wells/Miguel Batista/Shea Hillendbrand/Roy Halladay Devil Rays - Jorge Cantu/Carl Crawford Indians - Grady Sizemore/Travis Hafner/Bob Wickman Royals - Emil Brown/Mike Sweeney Tigers - Ivan Rodriguez/Jeromy Bonderman/Brandon Inge Twins - Johan Santana/Torii Hunter/Jesse Crain White Sox - Mark Buehrle/Jon Garland/Paul Konerko/Freddy Garcia/Cliff Politte/Dustin Hermanson/Scott Podsednik _______________________ |Red = Lock |Blue = Best chance on team --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oakland - I have no idea who could possibly be the A's All-Star. I'm gonna say one of thier bullpen guys Huston Street being the favorite over Justin Duchscherer and Chavez having a shot a long with Zito if one of the relievers is not taken. OAKLAND SHOULD NOT HAVE AN AS THIS YEAR Toronto - Roy Halladay is an easy lock for the AS game, he should end up starting it based on his first half production of course a guy like Mark Buehrle is just as deserving and could get the knod seeing how he's on the best team in baseball. Other dark horses are: Miguel Batista, Vernon Wells and Shea Hillenbrand. Tampa Bay - The D-Rays will send Cantu, he is the most deserving by far. Crawford has a chance if they snub Cantu. Cleveland - Grady Sizemore and Hafner have a chance of going but only one of them. With Wickman IMO staying home. Kansas City - One of Mike Sweeney and Emil Brown will go. With the favorite being Sweeney though he is injured. KC SHOULD NOT HAVE AN AS THIS YEAR Detroit - I still think IRod is going to the AS game. He'll be voted in by the players based solely on Reputation alone. Inge is second in line behind IRod. Bonderman has a shot if IRod doesn't go I still think his ERA and WHIP are too damn high. Minnesota - Santana and Hunter are both locks for the AS game. Jesse Crain has a 100000 to 1 chace of making it as a MR. Chicago - Buehrle and Garland will both be in the AS game for sure. Konerko has a definite shot at the backup 1B spot if Sexson doesn't get it. Politte has a 10000 to 1 shot of making it as a MR. Hermanson probably has the 4th best chance of making the AS team seeing how Batitsta is most likey going to take up a spot as the Blue Jays lone rep. Garcia has an outside shot with his strong push going into the AS break. Scott Podsednik has THE outside shot, probably no chance in hell but I like seeing his name up there.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:49 AM) Joe Crede is not a free agent after this year. Arbitration rocks!

QUOTE(Frank the Tank 35 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:26 AM) Craig Counsell, the heart of the team, is basically playing everyday, and his main position is 2b. Cintron is basically spelling him and Glaus while splitting time with Clayton at SS. I believe Cintron's main position is 2b though, making Clayton the better defensive player at SS. Alex Cintron is a SS. He's played 262 games at SS, 38 at 3B and 55 at 2B. If he's not good enough to start over Clayton then he's not good enough to start over anyone on Oakland.

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:20 AM) DET could send Pudge, Inge, or even Monroe... how about magglio? hehe Ummmm..... no

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 02:19 AM) You forgot; 5 - Complain about the offense. I want doubles and triples not homers DAMNIT!!!! 6 - Complain about FG's 1st inning. 7 - Complain about Chris Widger catching FG. 8 - Complain about the Sox offense swining for the fences, then realize you have Podsednik, Iguchi and Rowand in your lineup. 9 - Complain about Paulie pulling the ball. 10 - Complain about Frank Thomas in general. Anything else please tell me, so I can add it to the list. You forgot the #1 complaint of today's game. We got no-hit through 4 innings by Mike f***ing Maroth. Give me a f***ing break. People just love to b****.

There's no way in hell I'm reading all of that. I did however read the trade purposal and all I have to say is ROTFLMFAO.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:58 AM) Grady Sizemore. Learn that name. Damn good all-around ball player.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) I bet you Kenny hasn't thought twice about that deal. Agreed, it was a steal.

Unofficial Get Mike Stanton Thread

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:36 AM) I'd say Buehrle's been are best player in terms of numbers but AJ's been this teams mvp. I believe the word is our. Go back to grammar school. Serves ya right for ribing me for using the word bajillion

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:24 AM) Haha. Anyway - gotcha. But really the disparity in numbers is ridiculous and it would be a joke if IRod made it over Jorge. Since when is the AS game anything but a joke?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) Posada>>>IRod this year I don't think that matters. Remember this is all IMO. I could be totally wrong (this would be the first time) I just think he gets in despite the numbers.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) Wasn't Glenn Williams like some 30 year old career minor leaguer? Or am I thinking about someone else? 27 year old career minor leaguer (983 minor league games 3567 ABs.)

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:14 AM) I doubt it. The Yankee fans would scream bloody murder if I-Rod got in ahead of Posada, and I think Tek is winning the vote right now. Who give a s*** what Yankee fans think? This isn't Joe Torre this is Terry Francona we're talking about. And besides. I believe the players would vote for IRod just based on his reputation around the league alone.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:11 AM) Varitek will be in. V-Tek will start.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) Not really. He's not having a great season, even by normal standards, plus the AL East will probably supply the two catchers. I'm gauranteeing right now that IRod makes the AS game.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) Detroit could send White, Guillen, Young, or Bonderman (listed in order I'd take them) Cleveland will probably send Hafner, but could also send Cliff Lee (#s are close to Garcia's, but slightly worse) Tampa Bay should send Cantu Kansas City doesn't deserve an all-star, but the closest thing they have is Emil Brown. Umm. Detroit = I Rod.
